Sun vs Wings Game 3 Betting Pick
This game will be played at College Park Center at 9:00 PM ET on Wednesday, August 24, 2022.
The final game of the first round of the 2022 WNBA playoffs will take place in Dallas between the Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings. Dallas responded nicely to a blowout loss to the Sun in Game 1 by beating Connecticut on the road in Game 2. Their reward is a home game in the series decider, with a spot in the semifinals up for grabs. In our WNBA picks for Wednesday, we look at Sun vs Wings Game 3 as the semifinals take shape once and for all.
Why Bet The Sun:
✅ Dallas’ victory in Game 2 of this series was a textbook example of three-point variance coming into play. The Wings got red hot from long distance, making 11 of their 26 attempts, while the Sun went just 4/14 from three. Kayla Thornton, an inconsistent outside shooter for the Wings, equaled the entire number of made threes for the Sun on Sunday. Expect things to even out and for the Sun to roll accordingly.
✅ Even with that huge three-point disparity, the Sun made things close down the stretch of Game 2. They went on a 20-2 run in the fourth quarter to cut the Wings lead to single digits. While they could not complete a massive comeback, they managed to build some positivity heading into the final game of this series that they will use to their advantage here.

✅ Dallas did win the only meeting between these teams that they hosted during the regular season. But Arike Ogunbowale led them with 20 points in that game. She is unavailable for Game 3 of this series, and the Wings will struggle to achieve a similar result without her in their lineup.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun were 11.5-point favorites in Game 2 of their first round playoff series against the Dallas Wings, with a chance to close things out and advance to round two. But they were blitzed in the first quarter of that game, getting outscored 22-7 in the opening 10 minutes en route to a 10-point loss. Now the Sun have to try again on the road, as they are one loss away from a surprising elimination.
Three-point shooting is not the strength of the Sun, but they need to at least pose a threat from long range to win this deciding Game 3. Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman shot a combined 2/12 from the field in Game 2, including a 1/7 mark from three-point range. If the guards of the Sun are not more effective in Game 3, the Wings could steal this series after all.
Dallas Wings
For teams without home court advantage in the WNBA playoffs, simply forcing a Game 3 at home is a victory in and of itself. The Dallas Wings accomplished just that by beating the Sun with their backs against the wall in Game 2 on Sunday at Mohegan Sun. Dallas will now look to secure a shocking series victory against the Sun despite not having their top scorer available for the entirety of this series.
Without Arike Ogunbowale available, the Wings needed someone to step up to help Marina Mabrey put points on the board. They got just that in the form of Kayla Thornton on Sunday. Thornton led the Wings with 20 points on 8/12 shooting in Game 2, more than doubling her 8.0 points per game average for the season. If she or anyone else can step up alongside Mabrey, the Wings have a fighting chance to claim this series once and for all.
